TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The accident in the film was inspired by a real-life disaster, the crash of Alaska Airlines 261 on January 31, 2000. Some dialogue in the film closely resembles the CVR transcript. Like in the film, the pilots of Alaska 261 rolled the airplane to an inverted position to try to stabilize the flight. Unlike the film, however, this did not assist them in recovering the aircraft. The root cause of the crash was found to be inadequate maintenance of the airplane's stabilizer "jackscrew," which caused its threads to wear down excessively and eventually jam the jackscrew. While the pilots were trying to reach Los Angeles for an emergency landing, the threads were ripped out and the stabilizer moved to a position that forced the plane into its fatal dive.

According to Denzel Washington, American company Delta Air Lines granted the production team access to their official flight simulator, in order to learn some of the most common maneuvers pilots have to master in order to fly a commercial plane.

In real life, Denzel Washington rarely drinks, and during an interview promoting the film, he claimed he would never play a role genuinely drunk, as the results he has seen have been invariably embarrassing. Washington further added that he made a point to never drink during filming, so as to not become fascinated with alcohol while playing an alcoholic. He did, however, gain weight to have a realistic bloated belly of a heavy drinker.

Director Robert Zemeckis is a pilot himself.

When Captain Whitaker sits left seat of the cockpit, he offers his co-pilot a breath from the oxygen mask, after breathing himself, claiming it is a test. It is actually a well-known common relief for morning-after hangovers.

Popular Dialogues

"[last lines] Will: This essay, the essay that I have to write, it's called, "The Most Fascinating Person That I've Never Met." Whip: Okay. Will: So, [turns on his tape recorder] Will: who are you? Whip: That's a good question..."

"Hugh Lang: [to Whip] The FAA and the NTSB took 10 pilots, placed them in simulators, recreated the events that led to this plane falling out of the sky. Do you know how many of them were able to safely land the planes? Not one. Every pilot crashed the aircraft, killed everybody on board. You were the only one who could do it!"
